Hi All,

   My Windows version of Mozilla is appending ".exe" to many of
the files I download.  Especailly when they are not exe files.

Example: http://telia.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/rolodap/slapd.conf
gets downloaded as "slapd.conf.exe".

   This is not critical, just annoying.

Many thanks,
--Tony
